Returning to regular routines after the Christmas and New Year period can be a difficult time for most, it's important to reach out and connect with those who know how deep sorrow can be.  We encourage you to connect with the Centre through the following options: Our newsletter also features details about our newly appointed Patron, an update on activities, workshops and events. 

With gratitude and warmth, from the GCWA Team 🌸

Our core values are Care, Connection and Community – and at the heart of our community there is a place for you!  

We are a community where every-one knows the value of grief and death, and the need to acknowledge and attend to the often unwelcome changes that come to us as we live life.  To integrate change effectively, and build our resilience as individuals and as communities, we often need others to guide the way, to have access to current resources and information, and to share our sorrows as well as our steps forward with others who are on a journey with grief, or toward the end-of-life.  As a member of the Grief Centre, you will have access to all of these supports and so much more..

Grief is a journey, not a place to stay.
